Ode To My Mother(s)

I was once alone in warmth
I was born and taken away
I was once again alone

So you came and saved me
And nurtured me
And taught my impressionable mind
And you left me
I was once again alone

And you met him
And he took you from me
I was still alone

But you came back
I didn't need a savior
I needed a mother
And you loved me
And nurtured me
And tried to teach me
And again you left me
I was once again alone

And I learned to live alone
And to survive alone
And you came back in tears
And you didn't know me
But you tried to nurture me
And you tried to teach me
And you still loved me
But again you left me
I was once again alone

I cried as always
You left me crushed each time
I learned to live alone
I found myself alone

But then you came back
This time you said for good
And you loved me
And you cried because you didn't know me
And I had grown up alone
And I taught you
And we loved each other
But then you left me
I was once again alone

I became myself
I lived for myself, alone
I found that alone is not so bad

Then you came back again
And you cried
And cried
And cried because I was not yours anymore
I had been alone
I belonged to me, alone
And you cried more
But you still loved me

In your eyes I'm still your baby
But in mine...
I was always alone.
